Tag: War of the Wilted

I’ve got quite a few people asking me if GARDEN OF THORNS was going to have a sequel and while there was nothing official to announce, I’d simply say that I always imagined it as a trilogy.

Now it is official! That’s right, today it was announced that the amazing folks over at Entangled Teen will be publishing book 2 and book 3 in the GARDEN OF THORNS trilogy which means so much more time to explore in that world.

Rose and Rayce and Arlo and Marin have a lot more story to tell!

So as you can see from the announcement, the second book will be called WAR OF THE WILTED and is set to release Fall 2018. Right now, I’m in the thick of the writing the second book and plan to make it as amazing as that announcement makes it sound. If that isn’t motivation, I don’t know what is!

I can’t wait to work with all the amazing people at Entangled Teen again. My editor, the amazingly talented, Lydia Sharp, is so knowledgeable and understands exactly how to push my book up to the next level. She has incredible editorial assistant that offer great insight too!

The marketing team there is so sweet, dedicated and hard working.

I really love how supportive Entangled Teen is and am so excited to see what they’ll be able to do with this series.

It’s so surreal to me that I will get to realize my dream all over again twice and that I will have a new book out in the world.

Thank you to everyone who has dropped by to say hello, picked up a copy of GARDEN OF THORNS, reviewed it, recommended it to a friend or left me a kind comment. It has been such an exciting year hearing from all of you and it’s meant so much to me.

Garden of Thorns

Entangled Teen March 6th, 2017

After seven grueling years of captivity in the Garden—a burlesque troupe of slave girls—sixteen-year-old Rose finds an opportunity to escape during a performance for the emperor. But the hostage she randomly chose from the crowd to aid her isn’t one of the emperor’s men—not anymore. He’s the former heir to the throne, who is now leading a rebellion against it.

Rayce is a wanted man and dangerously charismatic, the worst person for Rose to get involved with, no matter what his smile promises. But he assumes Rose’s attempt to take him hostage is part of a plot to crush the rebellion, so he takes her as his hostage. Now Rose must prove where her loyalties lie, and she offers Rayce a deal—if he helps her rescue the other girls, she’ll tell him all the Garden’s secrets.

Except the one secret she’s kept for seven years that she’ll take to her grave if she must.
